Hi Stephen P. King
1 + 1 =2 is a necessary truth, not a fact. It is always true.
A priori. So there are necessary truths such as arithmetical truths
which were here before the contingent world of facts was created.
And will always be.

Yes and no, Truth is limited to the *possibility* of knowledge of
it. In the absence of the possibility of a statement being true (or
false), there is not such thing as true or false.
